Models"},"content":{"rendered":"

President Trump signed an executive order on<\/a> Tuesday that asked technology companies to give the government oversight of new artificial intelligence models before releasing them to the public, a shift for an administration that had promoted a hands-off approach to the powerful technology.<\/p>\n

The order followed months of debate in the Trump administration over how to handle A.I. and its effects on cybersecurity and national security. Last month, Mr. Trump scrapped an executive order<\/a> on A.I. \u2014 which would have created a window of up to 90 days in which the government would review new A.I. models before they were released \u2014 just hours before he was set to sign it.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s signing followed a meeting at the White House on Monday that Mr. Trump convened with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and David Sacks, who was previously the administration\u2019s A.I. czar, among others, two people familiar with the confidential meeting said. Mr. Sacks, who had opposed the order, blessed a revised version after the timeline for reviews was cut to 30 days from 90 days, the people said. That helped persuade Mr. Trump to move forward with the signing.<\/p>\n

The executive order is the Trump administration\u2019s biggest step toward regulating artificial intelligence. It is a reversal of the president\u2019s anything-goes stance, which he adopted when he first assumed office. That approach was designed to help American tech companies beat China and bolster the economy.<\/p>\n

Under the new order, tech companies would voluntarily give the government a 30-day window to review their new A.I. models before releasing them to the public. The order also asks the \u2060Treasury secretary to form an A.I. \u201ccybersecurity clearinghouse,\u201d which would review security vulnerabilities discovered by A.I. models.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvanced A.I. capabilities make our nation stronger, but also introduce new national security considerations that require coordinated action across executive departments and agencies,\u201d the order said.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately return calls for comment.<\/p>\n
